GALVISTON, IA—Teenager William Hanks was driving down Interstate 32 yesterday when for a brief moment he looked up from his cell phone and nearly missed something cool on Instagram. The young driver was traveling at a speed of 78 miles per hour when the near-miss occurred. "Life comes at you fast," Hanks told reporters. "But Instagram comes at you faster."

Hanks' parents are just glad to hear he is OK. "We love our son. If he missed an Instagram post, we don't know what we would do," Hanks' mother Geraldine said. "He's so young."

Hanks could not be reached for further questioning because, at the time of the interview, something else really cool popped up on Instagram.
